If white candidates were being denied membership in black greek orgs., then there wouldn't be any white members of these orgs. And since there ARE white, Latino/a, Asian and other ethnicities represented in most if not all BGLOs, I don't see what the problem is. Someone saying on this board that they wouldn't vote on someone because they are white obviously hasn't affected this reality. SO WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT IT AGAIN?
And again, Corbin, I ask: what "reverse discrimination" are blacks in positions of power perpetuating on whites? The "quota" situation you cited usually relies on some hiring manager, who, more often than not, isn't black. I'd love to know how these supposedly more qualified whites find out that they were A.) more qualified in the first place; B.) denied a job because it went to the less qualified candidate. Unless the hiring manager is telling them this, I think it's a pretty prejudiced opinion to assume that the black/Latino/a/ person was less qualified.
